Before setting off, Han Lu bought a box of 15 bottles of Nescafe coffee from a 7-11 by the roadside and opened a bottle to refresh herself.
It was four o 'clock in the morning, and Han Lu's mental state was still okay. After all, she had encountered some urgent work or unexpected incidents before that required her to deal with them overnight. Staying up late was no stranger to her, and although she was not young anymore, she had always maintained a good fitness habit. Her body was even better than some young people under the pressure of the 996 system. This would also buy her more time.
After that, the three returned to Zhang Heng's school, where they collected his recurve bow, Lego bricks, and some other gadgets. After that, they arrived at the agreed place.
It was a small park outside the Fifth Ring Road. It wasn't too big, and it was very close to the neighborhood nearby. It was also a place for some elderly people to exercise.
Han Lu parked the car outside the park.
"Uh, she basically doesn't trust anyone, so I'll go in alone to talk to her about the general situation. If there's no problem, I'll call you guys in."
"Will there be any danger?"
"… How should I put it? She doesn't like me very much. When we meet, she will make fun of me, but she won't hit me." Meinan then took a deep breath, opened the door, and got out of the car.
So, only Zhang Heng and Han Lu were left in the Lexus.
The latter turned on the stereo, "Is there anything you want to listen to?"
"You choose," Zhang Heng said. "Any song that can lift your spirits will do."
"Is this the privilege of a patient?" Han Lu shrugged, took out her phone, and connected it to Bluetooth. However, after scrolling through the playlist, she put the phone away and sighed. "Forget it. I'm not in the mood to listen now."
After that, neither of them spoke again.
After a while, Han Lu suddenly said, "How does it feel to have a child?"
"Huh?"
"Your mother and I are best friends. When we were studying abroad, we spent every day together. I thought I knew her very well, including her habit of secretly picking out raisins when eating cereal … But I've never seen that kind of expression on her face before. When she held you in her arms, her eyes were always shining, and her whole person became gentle."
Han Lu paused. "We also talked about marriage and having children … Xiao Xia said she watched a documentary about childbirth, and she felt that childbirth was too painful. At that time, she even said that she would never have children in the future. I told her that if she said that, no one would marry her. She told me that if it doesn't work out, we can make do together. I'll be responsible for making money, and she'll be responsible for spending."
"This division of labor is very much like her," Zhang Heng said.
"In the end, she turned around and married herself," Han Lu slapped the steering wheel. "That betrayer of love … She has always been the person I'm most jealous of. Every day, she lives like a retard, and she takes it for granted that she pushes all her problems to the people around her to solve them. But that woman has a very powerful natural intuition. She always makes the right choice at the most critical time, whether it's getting married or having children … It's hard not to admire her. I thought I finally beat her in my career, but she doesn't seem to care about this kind of thing at all. That retard probably thinks she's doing as well as I am in her field, even though her monthly salary isn't even enough for me to get my hair done once."
"You've done very well," Zhang Heng said. "It's just that people are always unwilling to cherish what they already have. Once you get something, the value of that thing will decrease. On the contrary, what you can't get will make you desire it more and more. Getting married, starting a career … These are just personal choices at different stages of life. There's no good or bad. Besides, you're in a period of depression now. When this matter blows over, you'll return to your normal life."
"Am I imagining things? These words sound like they came from someone older than me." Han Lu wanted to say something more, but she saw Zhang Heng raise a finger.
So Han Lu shut her mouth. After a while, she asked, "What's wrong?"
"She's been in there for a while." Zhang Heng lowered the glass. The park was quiet late at night, and only the rustling of leaves could be heard.
"She … Didn't she ask us to wait here for her to call us?" Han Lu asked.
"Yes, but it's better to improvise at times like this."
Zhang Heng got out of the car, took out the SF recurve bow from the trunk, and his backpack. He then took out a mask from his backpack and put it on. "Wait for me in the car. Lock the door, and as usual, keep the engine running. If anything happens, don't worry about us. Just drive away immediately."
After saying this, Zhang Heng turned and walked into the small park.
Zhang Heng didn't move fast, and at the same time, he kept an eye on his surroundings. To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, he didn't draw the bowstring.
It didn't take long for him to reach the center of the park, but there was nothing there.
On the other side was an artificial lake without water, and behind it was a wall. There was basically no other place for him to hide. Zhang Heng stopped and became alert.
He reached for the quiver with his right hand, but the next moment, two hands grabbed his wrist. Then, the air in front of him trembled, and several figures appeared one after another. Two of them held Meinan in their arms, one covered her mouth, and another pinned her hands behind her back.
In addition, the last figure appeared in front of Zhang Heng, and while Zhang Heng was being controlled by the sneak attack, he punched Zhang Heng's lower abdomen.
In order to block the punch, Zhang Heng had to throw away the recurve bow in his hand. After that, he reacted quickly, raising his head and knocking it on the nose of the attacker behind him. Taking advantage of the moment when the attacker felt pain, Zhang Heng managed to break free.
Zhang Heng took two steps back to the right and looked at the four people in front of him who were eager for a fight.
"Very good. Capture her companions as well. The three Guilds will definitely offer a good price for them."
"Who are you people?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.
"If you like, you can call us warm-hearted people. During this period of time, in order to find this woman and her accomplices, the players have been in an uproar. I didn't expect to be lucky in the end."
"I'm afraid you have been misled into recognizing the wrong person," Zhang Heng said.
"How is that possible? The face may lie, but this plasticine prop won't lie, right?" The leader put his hand into his pocket and took out a piece of plasticine.
